The hedge funds have focused on traditional asset classes and have exposure to the cryptocurrency market. Approximately 50% of the hedge funds have allocated capital to digital assets, marking an increase compared to previous years.&nbsp;
Reportedly, 47% of the hedge funds invested in traditional asset classes have ventured into cryptocurrencies in 2024, up from 29% in 2023 and 37% in 2022.&nbsp;
It was driven by more defined regulatory frameworks and the launch of spot cryptocurrency ETFs in the United States and Asia.&nbsp;
Moreover, 67% of these funds intend to keep the current capital in digital assets. Meanwhile, the remaining 33% are to increase capital allocation by the end of 2024.
All the hedge funds are not involved in the digital asset space, as per the survey. Around 76% of hedge fund managers who are currently not invested in cryptocurrencies will continue not to invest in the asset class over the next three years. The figure has risen from 54% in 2023. Besides, two-thirds of the traditional hedge funds have no plans to include spot <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/investment-advisors-boost-btc-etf-holdings-amid-focus-shift/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin ETFs</a> in their digital asset strategies.
On the other hand, 42% of the 100 hedge funds were focused on traditional assets. The remaining 58% were invested in cryptocurrencies. The survey was conducted in the second quarter of 2024.&nbsp;
